The piupartss user needs to be able to run piuparts and thus can use sudo without restrictions. The slave automatically starts the master, to reserve packages to process and to pass logfiles to the master. Ideally all members of the Debian-QA group can su to the piupartsm user and process the logfiles - currently it's again only Luk and Holger. piupartsm has no special privileges. If you want to help, please join #debian-qa and say so there. Once a day piuparts-reports is run as piupartsm by cron to generate the html output of the logs.
